Peiqiang Xu

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my homepage. I am an Associate Professor in meteorology at Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). By using observations, idealized models and outputs from the GCMs, I hope to improve our understanding of key controls on the large-scale circulation (e.g., jet streams, storm tracks and planetary waves) in the middle latitudes, and how this may change in the future. You are weclome to visit my ResearchGate, GoogleScholar and Twitter webpages. I am also very fond of doing geophysical fluid experiments, you can find the details of our lab here.

In addition, I am an Associate Editor of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society.

  • 2021.03: After three months of planing and preparing, our climate group, named Climate Friends, is now finally established! Climate Friends is an academic club that is organized by the young researchers in IAP. It provides a platform for researchers to discuss climate sciences freely, from the chaotic mesoscale eddies in the oceans to the magnificent quasi-biennial oscillation in the stratosphere, from the furious hurricunes in the tropics to the worrying sea ice loss in the Arctic, from the freezing Last Glacial Maximum to the even more sweltering future, just any topics related to our fascinating climate! Climate Friends has routine activities (both off-line and on-line) at every Thursday evening (Beijing Time). Please feel free to contact me if you want more information!
